The ball has not yet been located IN
the leg of the wounded tramp. He gives
his name as Lawrence, and says he is
from Marion Center, Kan, where he has
an uncle living. He is getting along
well, and the wound IS not causing him
any great pain. He thinks the officer
shot at him, and does not seem to credit

The city is to be congratulated on hav-
Ing on its board OF aldermen those who
are above suspicion. The private con-
ferences between representatives of the
council would otherwise cause the people
to wonder if some scheme was not being

secure continuation of its valuable
franchise. There is a growing. feel.

The Evening Herald gets very wrathy
because the BEE frankly gave its readers
the news concerning the financial
troubles which have attended the Hotel
Manawa. The clerk of the courts estl.
mates the amount of liens and other
claims thus far put in as reaching $1,000.
The county records show very plainly
whether the BEE was correct in its state
ments or not. AS to the dirty filings
made IN regard to the BEE eating free
lunches there, the Herald scribes should
say little A short time ago supper was
spread there and the newspapers invited
to each send a representative. The Her
aid enthusiastically improved the oppor-
tunity and sent three with good appc
tites. Perhaps that accounts tor the
eagcrness with which they howl at every
one who has the frankness to tell the
truth about the hotel.
